About

If you love lettering and watercolors, you’ve probably come across the watercolor galaxy effect. Whether just as a beautiful texture, or incorporated into lettering, it’s eye catching. Made from a variety of cloud-like colorful textures, it’s further detailed with doodled stars. While there’s nothing like creating this traditionally with watercolors, the same look can also be achieved in Photoshop. In this tutorial, I take you through my process of creating and applying this watercolor galaxy effect to lettering, all within Photoshop. This is a bit of an advanced tutorial, so we’ll move through things quicker and with less detail than usual since there’s a lot to cover. If you’re just getting started with Photoshop, I have an intro class that’ll get you going quickly here 😉 Let’s dive into this galaxy!
